Spicy's name says it all and she lives up to it every day. This big girl has no fear, loves to kick up dirt, and if she doesn't get enough treats, well, just look at that look on her face. Spicy gets whatever Spicy wants, especially our love.
Baby was found as a cygnet hanging from a bridge after being caught up in a left-behind fishing line. After his leg was reattached, attempts to reunite with his family didn't work, so he came to us.
The RI wildlife clinic often gets saddled with domestic animals that people have found lost out in the wild. The clinic can't keep them because they only work with wild animals, so they ask us to step in to help out. We let these sweet animals live out their lives with us. Tangie is a Golden Pheasant and he is shy but sweet. Sighting him outside making his cute noises is always a treat for us.

BunBun is a domestic Rex rabbit that was dumped outside of a hotel, likely by people that got him for Easter then decided it wasn't a good idea. Although the kitchen staff was feeding him, they were worried about his surviving the winter. They brought it to the attention of one of our board members and he now lives here. Since we didn't have a designated bunny house, he has learned to 'play nice' with the peacocks so they agreed to share their home.

Louie was dumped at a pond and a man was feeding him every day on his way to work. Not realizing how unique Muscovies are, he thought his lack of flying meant his wings were broken, and his "hissy" voice meant he was sick. Turns out Louie was just a muscovy being a muscovy (they don't quack and they are lazy fliers). But our ED did realize that his wings had been clipped before he was dumped, and that could have been a death sentence for him out in the wild. Louie's favorite thing to do is to follow around our green thumb supervisor. And he is also the screen saver on her phone. Quite the love affair.
Lorelei is our new favorite duck. She was found in New York City with her wings tied with ribbons and she couldn't fly. Who would do that? This shy and super sweet girl is now safe with us and learning to explore without fear. And she might be sweet on Trooper.
Sandy and all her "sisters" (below) came to us from a big group of 12 hens that were living in muddy conditions, several with overgrown nails and foot issues. With no rooster around, Sandy was top of the pecking order, but she definitely lets Red do his job.
Chuki was found in NYC on a Main Street and it is amazing she survived without being hit by a car. She ultimately made her way to us and has been getting to know Beaty and Coppo. Chuki likes hiding so we make sure she has secret nesting box places.
Brooklyn (fka Parti) was found outside and weak. A caring young lady took her in and brought her back to health. But not everyone can keep a partridge so she was referred to us and Brooklyn came her for her forever home. Since she was around so many people, she is shy around the other partridges, but she'll learn to be a partridge soon, we're sure.

Lacy is a gentle giant. We'd tell you how we came up with the name, Lacy, but even if we tried to explain it, it might not make sense, so let's just go with it. He's our cool dude who loves to hang out right behind the ED's back door with his buddy, Louie.
Celina
Celina came to us from an over-crowded and failing alpaca business with no grass or space to move. She and three others were lucky enough to come to us to have plenty of grass and room to roam.
We haven't had a Chukar partridge in a while and we are so happy to have another with his cute sounds and noises. This sweetie was released for fall hunting, but ended up in someone's yard. He wouldn't survive the winter since they are not native, so now he's here. Beaty (fka Beatrice) only costs about $10 a month to feed him special millet and sunflower.
Gary was found at the Inland Fuel Terminal in Tiverton. Somehow, he made his way through multiple layers of barbed wire fencing and the staff was concerned for his safety. They named him and took care of him for a few days until a rehabber could quarantine Gary for two weeks. Gary has made himself at home at West Place and is starting to get more comfortable around people and a variety of animals. These days, he will often tag along on tours and wait patiently for treats.

Parker was saved from the 2016 Westport case where we took in our first exotic birds. Although they can live to be up to 50 years old, Parker sadly passed away in 2023 around the age of 8 due to a respiratory infection
Wade
Wade (right) was brother to Duncan for 15 years. Born to Webbie, he spent his whole life at WPAS
Also from the wildlife clinic, we were happy to help out by taking in these two pekins. Splashy (left) got his name when one of our volunteers gave a school presentation to a class that ran a fundraiser for us. We let them choose and vote on his name. And Splishy? Well, what else were were going to name his wife? Splishy suffered through a bad leg infection but has finally pulled through it.
Splishy
Woodie! In 2020 we rehabilitated more wood ducks then we can count and we always wish one or two would stay but nature takes over and they always leave when it's time...but for one little guy that turned out to have one flight wing shorter than the other. He couldn't leave and quickly became a favorite here. We spend our days protecting him from predators and making sure he's safe at night.

Lovey
Lovey came to us from an over-crowded and failing alpaca business with no grass or space to move. She and three others were lucky enough to come to us to have plenty of grass and freedom to roam.
​
She had a bad case of skin mites that took her quite some time to overcome. Unfortunately, they are contagious and her best friend, Star, later got them too.

Star is the sweetest alpaca we have. She loves to give kisses and lean her head on your shoulder.
This beauty was found alone, walking around in Section 8 housing and no one came forward as his owner so he was picked up by some caring people. He was part of a group of new arrivals to West Place in the spring of 2023.
​
Dutch tends to be quiet and shy around humans but he is quick to make new bird friends. He enjoys spending time with Marty and his fellow Pekins, Max and Kevin.

Dutch was adopted out to Catherine Brown 1/28/24

Leah was dumped in Pawtuxet village "years ago" (depending on who you ask it's been up to twenty years!) with her partner, Luke. She had an eye infection so severe that it looked like it needed enucleation but we've been able to save the eye and now they are enjoying their twilight years with us.
Leah
Percy passed away in 2024 as a result of an aggressive cancer, creating a tumor in his mouth. Originally rescued from the 2016 Westport case, he resided at West Place for about 8 years.
Luke was dumped in Pawtuxet village with his partner, Leah, where the two survived in the wild for some say more than twenty years! They came to us when Leah developed an eye infection so severe that it needed intervention. Leah has since passed away but Luke is still going strong, enjoying his twilight years with us.
Luke
Gabby
Gabby and her sister, Gracie, were our first "auction intercept" case. We worked in conjunction with Horse Angels to prevent these two girls from going to auction, where one never knows what will happen. Gabby was only 12 years old when she came to us, and mini horses can live to be 40 so we'll have her for a long time! She would love a sponsor to help her receive the best possible care.
